Two-ingredient doughnut recipe

Doughnuts are a delicious way to start your day. Don't worry if you have a fear of baking with yeast or just don't have the time. This recipe will save you time but still give you decadent homemade flavor. We glazed our doughnuts, but they are perfect with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar as well.

Yields 8 doughnuts plus 8 doughnut holes

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil, for frying

1 (8 count) can jumbo buttermilk biscuits

Doughnut glaze (optional recipe follows)

Directions:

In a medium pot, add about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 360 degrees F.

While the oil is heating open the biscuits, cut out the middle using a small 1-1/2 inch cookie cutter (or doughnut cutter).

Fry the doughnuts and holes in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on each side.

Fry the doughnuts in batches so you don't crowd the pan.

Dip in glaze if desired.
